Compton Garden Flowers Flower farm, growing British flowers which capture the essence of each season. Cut flowers for everyday treats and occasions - weddings, events & sympathy

"There are always flowers, for those who want to see them" Henri Matisse

After many years working in the corporate world we have finally realised an ambition to run our very own flower farm. 2016 is our first year and so far crops are looking good! Despite some pretty wet weather!! We grow the vast majority of our crops from seed so the work starts in January - from seed to bloom. Our aim is to

grow beautiful British flowers for cutting each and every season. For the perfect gift, or an everyday treat, we have available hand-tied bouquets, bespoke arrangements and posies. Or if you are a florist and would like buckets of fresh british flowers this too can be arranged. We also design bespoke creations for sympathy, weddings and events and we pride ourselves on tailoring our offers to fit the needs of each and every customer. We can be found between Bristol and Bath in the quiet village of Compton Dando. And if you need it Local delivery is available.

In these temperatures, it’s always interesting to see which annuals thrive in our very little-shade flower field!

This is a new one for us this year: Nicotiana ‘Baby Bella’. So far, so good! Let’s see how it’s looking in a few days by the end of our third 2026 heatwave!

No two seasons are ever the same, and that’s one of the joys of growing flowers.

These dahlias are already flowering in June. In other years, I’ve been waiting until August for the first flowers to appear . It really is a reminder that nature sets the pace, not the calendar.

These plants were grown from seed last year and have overwintered beautifully, coming back with plenty of vigour. Because they’re open-pollinated, the bees have been busy creating natural crosses, meaning every seed has the potential to produce something completely unique.

Growing dahlias from seed takes a little patience, but if you enjoy discovering new colours and forms, it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do. I’m already excited to see what surprises this year’s seed crop has in store.

The best of both worlds: DIY flower buckets, bouquets made by us.

Our couples collect DIY buckets overflowing with British-grown flowers of their colour choice, to style their wedding day in their own unique way – from bud vases and table centres to ceremony flowers.

Then they leave the bouquets to us.

Using the very same flowers, we create hand-tied bridal and bridesmaid bouquets that bring everything together beautifully. You get all the joy, creativity and personal touches of DIY wedding flowers, with the confidence that your bouquets are expertly designed and ready for your walk down the aisle.

Many congratulations to A&I who married this weekend

The loveliest way to welcome British Flowers Week.

A collection of bud vases filled with seasonal British flowers, bringing colour, scent and a little magic to any table.

Choosing locally, agroecologically grown flowers means fewer flower miles, support for British growers, and farming practices that nurture healthy soils, encourage biodiversity and provide vital habitats for pollinators.

Displayed here in a beautiful bowl made by Rachel from Rachel | Oxfordshire Flower Farmer & Florist . Outside grown in Somerset, these are cut flowers from July onwards and, once they start, should keep going for weeks. Varieties in this image - Alba, Isabellina, creme brûlée & cherry caramel

Today feels like a real red letter day for British flower farming.

For years, our industry has quietly grown fields full of flowers, biodiversity, pollinators, jobs, beauty and community — but without official recognition.

Now, thanks to campaigning by , British flower growers finally have official industry recognition through dedicated SIC codes. It’s a huge step forward for flower farmers across the UK, especially for the many women leading the way in this industry.

I’m incredibly proud that Compton Garden Flowers is part of this amazing community — growing flowers with nature, supporting wildlife, and proving that farming and biodiversity can thrive together.

This moment matters. And it feels like just the beginning

Flowers in the field are really starting to flourish now we’re into May. Longer days, warmer nights, and with the threat of frost fading by the day, the season is finally beginning to burst into life.

These DIY flower buckets were collected for a beautiful wedding this weekend — the couple wanted locally grown, seasonal flowers to decorate their venue in a way that felt natural, personal, and connected to the time of year.

There’s something incredibly special about creating your own wedding flowers. From gathering with friends and family to arrange buckets of freshly cut blooms, to filling the venue with scent, colour, and movement — it all becomes part of the celebration itself

For many couples, choosing seasonal British flowers is about more than just colour palettes — it’s about supporting local growers, reducing miles travelled, embracing what’s naturally flowering, and filling the day with flowers that feel beautifully of the moment.
